(total: 1000g or 32.15oz). 6x 27.70 mm. 2x 34.50 mm. 1x 54.80 mm. Andrei Rublev (born in the 1360s, died 1427 or January 29, 1430) is considered to be the greatest medieval Russian painter of Orthodox icons and frescoes. There is little information about his life. It is not known where he was born. Andrei Rublev probably lived in the Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra near Moscow under Nikon of Radonezh, who became hegumen after the death of Sergii Radonezhsky (1392). The first mentioning of his name refers to 1405; the document says that for the decoration of the Annunciation Cathedral in Moscow Kremlin. T here were invited the famous Theophanes the Greek, master Prokhor and monk Andrei Rublev. This means that the painter had already changed the unknown to us name given on birth to the name of Andrei. His name was the last of the list of masters as the junior both by rank and by age. Theophanes was an important Byzantine master who moved to Russia, and is considered to have trained Rublev. Historians suppose that Rublev took his vows in the Troitsky (Trinity) monastery under abbot Nikon, pupil and successor of Sergei Radonezhsky. The decorations of the Annunciation Cathedral did not survive the turbulent time, but the Iconostasis still keeps 7 icons. They are evidence of his high skills and the following of the Byzantine tradition. It is difficult to tell with confidence what Rublev’s brushes of icons and frescos belong. Quite probably that he has created “Transformation”. There is the second document, dated 1408, that Andrei Rublev and icon painter Danil (Daniil Tcherny) on May 25 started to decorate the Dormtion Cathedral in Vladimir. Those worksare the only preserved murals by Andrei Rublev, which show his deviation from the Byzantine school. Dormition Cathedral of Vladimir. Dormition Cathedral in Vladimir (sometimes translated Assumption Cathedral) used to be a mother church of medieval Russia in the 13th and 14th centuries. It is part of the World Heritage Site entitled White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal. The cathedral was commissioned by Andrew the Pious in his capital Vladimir and dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary), whom he promoted as the patron saint of his lands. Originally erected in 11581160, the 6-pillared 5-domed cathedral was expanded in 11851189 to reflect the augmented prestige of Vladimir. Embracing the area of 1178 sq. Meters, it remained the largest of Russian churches for the following 300 or 400 years. Andrew the Pious, Vsevolod the Big Nest, and other rulers of Vladimir-Suzdal were interred in the crypt of this church. Unlike many other churches, the cathedral survived the great devastation and fire of Vladimir in 1239, when the Mongol hordes of Batu Khan took hold of the capital. The exterior walls of the church are covered with elaborate carvings. The interior was painted in the 12th century and then repainted by the great Andrei Rublev and Daniil Chernyi in 1408. The Dormition Cathedral served as a model for Aristotele Fioravanti when he designed the eponymous cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin in 14751479. A lofty belltower, combining genuinely Russian, Gothic, and Neoclassical influences, was erected nearby in 1810. The earliest surviving works of Andrei Rublev are now considered icons deesis belt, the so-called Zvenigorod (1400). Preserved icon of the Savior, St. Michael the Archangel and St. Paul, which were discovered in 1918. Written evidence about the authorship of these icons are missing, but the images, analogies can be seen in the frescoes 1408. The Dormition Cathedral in Vladimir, all date back to the most significant works of Andrei Rublev. In the central icon of the Deesis Christ in Majesty depicted Christ with an open text of the Gospel, who sits on the throne. Saints praying before the Savior presented at the other icons, filled with selfless faith in a fair trial. For each character found surprisingly accurate soulful performance does not violate at the same tonal unity of the whole ensemble. The ability to combine emotional sounding single large multi-figure group composes one of the features of the composite gift of Andrei Rublev. The image of Our Lady emphasized the monumental nature of the capacious smooth flowing silhouette, accentuated disturbed gesture of outstretched hands in prayer. The whole image is imbued with a gentle, sad plea, intercession for the human race. The real adornment of color deesis series are inserting in certain places and with certain calculations are different in size and configuration of the red cinnabar. This geometric shapes framing the Savior on the throne in the center, ample cloaks archangels and narrow expressive blotches on the icon of St. Gregory the Theologian and John Chrysostom. The presence of Deesis composition of the congregation of the saints of the two figures of the archangels, Michael and Gabriel, goes back to a long tradition of the image on the sides of the central image of Jesus Christ (the Savior) who worship him heavenly powers. Extremely low mintage – limited to only 500 sets. Comes with a solid, luxurious presentation box made of wood and housed in a carton shipper. Comes with an elaborate booklet containing background information on the icons, the painter and the Dormition Cathedral – the booklet also serves as a Certificate of Authenticity.

Niue Island 2016 MARS $50 REAL MARTIAN METEORITE NWA 6963 Silver coin 1 KG Kilo

Niue Island 2016 MARS $50 REAL MARTIAN METEORITE NWA 6963 Silver coin 1 KG Kilo

Extremely low mintage 99 coins in the world. Premium Handmade Antique finish. Real mars meteorite NWA 6963; High relief. For the coin + for the meteorite. Each coin has a piece of Meteorite NWA 6963. Real Mars meteorite inlay. Pure silver 1 Kilo. Very low mintage of just 99 coins in the world. Legal tender of Niue Island (New Zealand Dollar). Certificate of Authenticity + certificate for the meteorite. NWA stands for Northwest Africa, which is where this particular meteorite was found. The hunter continued collecting pieces in the same area for about 6 months. In mid-May, 2012, the NWA 6963 locality, near the river Oued Touflit, became widely known and hundreds of meteorite hunters went to the area searching for more pieces. Pieces ranging from 100 to 700 g have been recovered, as well as a few small pieces (3-10 g), most of them are broken and partially covered by a thin fusion crust. The total mass may be as much as 8-10 kg. The timing of the release of these coins is excellent as Mars has been in the news a lot recently. In addition to the current plan for volunteers to at some point go to Mars and live there for the rest of their lives and last year’s hit movie with Matt Damon, The Martian, which won Academy Awards, there is brand-new research about the surface of Mars. 3.4 billion years ago when a large asteroid hit the planet, it triggered tsunamis that covered several hundred thousand square miles of the planet with water that has been frozen in the years since then. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System, after Mercury. Named after the Roman god of war, it is often referred to as the “Red Planet” because the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it areddish appearance. Mars is a terrestrial planetwith a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moonand the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Mars are likewise similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. Mars is the site of Olympus Mons, the largest volcano and second-highest known mountain in the Solar System, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in the Solar System. The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 40% of the planet and may be a giant impact feature. Mars has two moons, Phobos andDeimos, which are small and irregularly shaped. These may be captured asteroids, similar to 5261 Eureka, a Mars trojan. Extremely high international collectible demand. Highly appreciated in investing in Collectible Coins.
